explain as to the specific question. governor? bob. i heard that you actually, when you said bergen record learned something new about situational a awareness universal policy you stated here include the press corps? well, sure. most of you, i hope, are citizens of new jersey. so you would there are exceptions. i know you are. we don t need to point them out but yes of course it does and because the fact is i came out here and said something that was untrue. i mean unwittingly but i said something that was untrue. i think what you all have seen about me last four years in my dealings with you, that i deal with you directly and i say exactly what i think and i think over time i have developed a reputation for telling you all the truth. as i see it. there can be disagreements but the truth is as i see it, and so yeah, would i include the press corps? of course i would because most,
